Tried it again, with the expert install (to a 1gb flash card). The first time I tried it, I also selected the desktop package; it failed halfway through the software selection section, without a useful message. Examination of the disk revealed that it was, predictably, full (filelight indicated over 55% of the space used was apt package cache!?!).
Tried it again, with just the basics & pppd selected. This time it went through (I further installed minimal kde desktop manually with success); after copying sprint chat script & peer connect scripts over (and loading usbserial), it worked! (albeit slowly). I've had to patch the kernel of my Uburntu(sp!?) installation to get reasonable performance (similar/bidirectionally to http://www.junxion.com/opensource/linux_highspeed_usbserial.html :: I've seen this mentioned on the kernel mailing lists, but apparently nobody's bothered to add it yet).
